Available to practice Friday, apparently.

Might be good to have a vet around but I don't see him as improvement over what they have. 

I think, it's either Darvin is not all that healed yet or Demski might be out for a while.

Looks like a Demski replacement. McKnight not getting it done?

Yup 4 is way below 11. 

Roosevelt didn't hang around long in Mont......  Has he got anything left ????Guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks....He was a reliable receiver at one time....something we could use now IF he still has the hands and speed

I thought protocol as well....If he has his shots that could be why he's allowed to join us Fri....??

Unless he stayed in Canada after being cut.

Looks like he's on the suspended list while he completes travel requirements: https://www.cfl.ca/2021/08/30/bombers-sign-veteran-wr-naaman-roosevelt/

My guess is he returned to the US after being released by the Als at the end of July.

If he can offer anything then why not

Dont doubt you, still think vancouverites, torontonians, momtreal/Ottawa, quebec city folk would have trouble with it.

If demski is gonna be out a while I think he upgrades the bottom end of the wr core. Or if darvin adams is gonna be out for a bit. Its never a bad thing to add a 1k yards capable wr. Hes a good pro, real solid technical guy. Not a fast guy though. I miss all the speed tool guys we had last year.

Mtl is really deep at wr though.

Did Rosie return kicks in sask as well? I’m not saying that’s why they brought him in or if they would use him there just curious if he can return kicks.

Hey, there's the thing that I said! Nice to see it official.

This Roosevelt signing feels a lot like the last year or so we squeezed out of Denmark. Not flashy, but dependable and productive.

no

I'd be blown away if he plays Sunday. Banjo bowl on the other hand...

Don't know how much this guy has left in the tank.......but perhaps a sent message to the current receiving corps

When this keeps happening a message needs to be sent

Wonder how much input Zach had on this signing ? With them playing together back in Saskabush.

 Nope he's slower than woli.

This is a great point. Wasn't  Zach his qb when he was at his best too. 

I'd personally rather see Stewart or Agudosi over Roosevelt but hopefully he's got something left in the tank and helps us out.

Apparently was signed before game yesterday

Roosevelt was never the fastest receiver, and I imagine the Rider fans are howling about the Bombers picking through their leftovers.

If that’s the case. Then hopefully it’s an addition to the team and not longer term injuries to Demski and Adams.
